Eyeblink Startle Response

The Eyeblink Startle Response is a neurophysiological reflex, within the broader class of startle responses, distinguished by its rapid, involuntary contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle in response to a sudden, intense sensory stimulus, typically auditory, serving as a primary measure of defensive reactivity in affective and cognitive neuroscience.
